Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 923 They... they've all gone mad!

"Slap!" came the sound of a slap landing on a face, followed by Lu Zhaolin's sinister and ruthless warning, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?!"

Lu Shengying's head was knocked to the side, showing how much force Lu Zhaolin had used in that slap.

He turned around in disbelief. "Dad, you actually hit me! My eldest uncle has always been strict with me all these years. You've never done this before. Why? I just said I didn't want to put up with that jerk anymore, and you hit me? You haven't laid a finger on me since Mom passed away. Why is that?!"

Lu Zhaolin frowned as he watched his son question him repeatedly, his fierce expression becoming increasingly undisguised. "Shut up! I'm doing this all for your own good!"

"For my own good? For my own good, you send your own son to the home of someone who doesn't like him to suffer? To be subservient? To have to watch other people's faces?"

Do you know how I feel every time I go there?!

Lu Shengying finally lost her temper and completely broke down, her eyes gradually filling with tears as she looked at Lu Zhaolin.

"You always say that everything in the Lu family should belong to us, but why don't you go and take it yourself instead of making me suffer? Also, do you know, my uncle, he..."

Thinking of her own conjecture, Lu Shengying immediately shut her mouth again.

"What about him?" Lu Zhaolin noticed his strange expression and pressed for an answer.

"nothing!"

The quick reply clearly indicated he was hiding something. Lu Zhaolin's first reaction was disbelief. He stared intently at Lu Shengying, "You are my son. I know better than you whether you're lying or not. Now confess honestly!"

"me……"

Pressed for answers, Lu Shengying felt uneasy. She didn't know whether she should tell her father the truth about her suspicions about her uncle. But if she didn't, what if that day really came? Wouldn't they also be in trouble?

Outside, Lu Jianshe, who was eavesdropping, had an extremely gloomy expression hidden in the darkness.

"Speak quickly!"

Lu Zhaolin shouted angrily, grabbing Lu Shengying by the collar and demanding, "I'm your father. We're the closest people to each other. If you don't tell me something, who else can you tell?"

Forced into a position where he was being pulled forcefully, Lu Shengying could only look Lu Zhaolin in the eye. He tried to dodge, but the pressure on his collar grew stronger and stronger, as if it were going to strangle him. After years of living under his father's high pressure, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and quickly told him the details he had observed from Lu Jianshe.

“I… I suspect that my uncle has already sided with the anti-revolutionary group in the power struggle. His actions seem to benefit him now, but they are also extremely dangerous. What if… what if… not only will he lose, but we will also suffer!”

Having forced herself to say these words, Lu Shengying waited a long time for Lu Zhaolin to speak. Upon closer inspection, she noticed a strange look of excitement on his face, which puzzled her and increased her unease. Her tone became more urgent, "Dad, what's with that expression? Is this what you want? God, are you all crazy?"

In feudal society, such a dangerous act would have been a heinous crime, resulting in the confiscation of property and the extermination of nine generations of one's family. Why would his father and uncle have such crazy ideas?

Trying to seize power?

Just thinking about it made Lu Shengying break out in a cold sweat. It was terrifying, truly terrifying.

They... they've all gone mad!

"Shengying, you are not allowed to talk about this anymore after you leave here. Just pretend you don't know anything, understand?" After a long while, Lu Zhaolin finally spoke slowly.

Lu Shengying felt like her scalp was about to explode. "You, you actually support Uncle too? But he already has a high enough status and position, why would he take such a risk?"

"You don't understand..."

"It's not just him, I don't understand either!"

Lu Zhaolin's words were interrupted by a sudden and familiar voice. The two people in the room were startled and froze. Realizing who was speaking, they quickly looked towards the door.
